Definitions

  • the invention relates to an engine-driven hydraulic pump for an aircraft.
  • Engine-driven hydraulic pumps of the prior art are mostly axial piston pumps which transfer mechanical power provided at a rotating drive shaft into hydraulic power.
  • pistons arranged in an axial direction with respect to the drive shaft are moved backwards and forwards in a translatory manner via a swash plate by the shaft driven by the engine of the aircraft.
  • a hydraulic fluid is drawn up by suction by this stroke movement and is fed under high pressure into a hydraulic circuit.
  • the swash plate is mounted pivotally and can be established in its inclination by a control piston pressurised by the high pressure side of the pump for the purpose of changing the piston stroke.
  • the swash plate is pivoted back against a spring in the direction of its zero position, so that the stroke of the pistons becomes minimal and the pump does not deliver or delivers only minimally.
  • the spring pivots the swash plate so that a greater or maximum stroke is produced and thus a greater or maximum pump capacity is produced.
  • a known construction by Bosch Rexroth provides two pump units with in each case a swash plate, piston and control piston which are arranged in a row on a drive shaft. With this arrangement, the delivery volume of a conventional pump is doubled, while the speed can be kept at the same level.
  • this known construction has a considerable construction length, which is a disadvantage for some applications.
  • the hydraulic power requirement for large modern transport aircraft and thus also the required volume flow of engine-driven hydraulic pumps is progressively increasing, the available installation space is generally restricted.
  • the length of the pumps is often problematic, because in some types of engine, the pumps have to be installed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the engine for technical reasons.
  • a pump installation transverse to the longitudinal axis of the engine results in a very expansive construction which is difficult to realise and often extends beyond the predetermined installation space.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an engine-driven hydraulic pump which, with a compact construction method, produces a high volume flow.
  • the invention provides an engine-driven hydraulic pump for an aircraft, which hydraulic pump has a first and second pump unit which each comprise an adjustable swash plate and a piston assembly coupled with the swash plate and driven by a pump shaft, a control device for adjusting the inclination of the swash plate and a drive shaft via which the hydraulic pump can be driven by an engine of the aircraft, while generating hydraulic pressure at an outlet line.
  • the invention provides that the pump units are arranged in parallel and each have a pump shaft, which pump shafts are coupled with the drive shaft via a gear unit.
  • a fundamental advantage of the engine-driven hydraulic pump according to the invention is that by using two small, fast operating pump units which are arranged in parallel, it is possible to realise high volume flows, without the length and thus the necessary installation space being significantly reduced compared to a conventional single axial piston pump.
  • the gear unit which couples the pump shaft with the drive shaft is formed by a spur gear.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the swash plates of the parallel pump units can be adjusted by a single control device coupled with each of the swash plates.
  • the use of a single control or regulating device for both pump units means that, compared to conventional axial piston pumps, a reduction in weight is advantageously to be expected with the same power.
  • the control device can be formed in particular by a control piston.
  • the control piston can be coupled with the output power of the hydraulic pump by a control line.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that the pump units are arranged in a common housing. Arranging the pump units in a common housing entails an advantageous reduction in weight.
  • each pump unit has a respective outlet line, which outlet lines are combined in the housing of the hydraulic pump into a common outlet line.
  • each pump unit has a respective suction line, which suction lines branch off in the housing from a common suction line.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the pistons of the first and second piston assemblies are in an offset arrangement with respect to one another for the purpose of minimising pressure pulsations.
  • the pistons of the first and second piston assemblies are in an offset arrangement with respect to one another for the purpose of minimising pressure pulsations.
  • FIG. 1 shows a simplified diagram of an engine-driven hydraulic pump for the hydraulic system of an aircraft according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 show a simplified diagram of the relative piston configurations for two pump units according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the illustrated engine-driven hydraulic pump comprises a first pump unit 11 and a second pump unit 12 which each comprise an adjustable swash plate, not shown specifically in FIG. 1 , and a piston assembly which is driven by a respective pump shaft 13 or 14 and is also not shown specifically.
  • a control device 19 serves to adjust the inclination of the swash plate and thus of the volume flow which is conveyed by the pump and is available at an outlet line 18 .
  • the hydraulic pump is driven by a drive shaft 15 of an engine, not shown in the figure, of an aircraft.
  • the pump units 11 , 12 each having a pump shaft 13 , 14 are arranged in parallel in a common housing 10 and are jointly coupled with the drive shaft 15 by a gear unit 16 .
  • the gear unit 16 coupling the pump shafts 13 , 14 with the drive shaft 15 is formed by a spur gear, such that the two pump shafts 13 , 14 are also arranged parallel to one another in the geometric sense.
  • a common single control and regulating device which comprises a control piston 19 which is coupled with the outlet line 18 of the hydraulic pump by a control line 19 a.
  • Each pump unit 11 , 12 has its own respective outlet line 18 a, 18 b, which lines are combined in the housing 10 of the hydraulic pump into a common outlet line 18 .
  • each pump unit 11 , 12 also has a respective suction line 17 a, 17 b, which suction lines branch off from a common suction line 17 in the housing 10 .
  • the two pump units 11 , 12 are not arranged on a common drive shaft, as in the known hydraulic pump described at the outset, but they each have their own pump shafts 13 , 14 which are driven by a gear unit 16 .
  • the installation principle of conventional hydraulic pumps as such remains the same.
  • the suction line 17 supplies fluid to the pump, this volume flow is only divided up into the respective individual lines 17 a, 17 b when it is inside the housing 10 and supplies both pump units 11 , 12 .
  • the conveyed flows of both pump units 11 , 12 are re-combined by the individual outlet lines 18 a, 18 b in the housing 10 and are discharged via the common outlet line 18 .
  • both pump units 11 , 12 are pivoted outwards by a single common control piston 19 which is actuated by the common high pressure side 18 . This ensures that both pump units 11 , 12 are operated under substantially the same load.
  • each piston stroke of the respective piston assembly causes a pressure surge in the outlet lines 18 a, 18 b which correspondingly produce a pulsating volume flow at the common outlet line 18 . It is possible to reduce these pulsations by arranging the respective piston assemblies of the two pump units 11 , 12 such that they are rotated about their longitudinal axis relative to one another, such that the conveying pistons, which displace the fluid, of one assembly are arranged offset relative to the pistons, displacing the fluid, of the second assembly. An example of such a configuration is shown in FIG. 2 .
